What Exactly Is Lightwave Therapy?

One of the most common questions we get from our clients is what exactly is LIGHTWAVE therapy? Well, in simple terms, LIGHTWAVE treatments are a variety of lights that vary from Red Lights, Infrared Lights, and Blue Lights used to heal the skin. No matter the skin types, these light emitting diodes (or LEDs for short) help revitalize your skin and get rid of any skin conditions  varying from:

• Sun Damage
• Environmental Damages
• Acne
• Acne Scars
• Aging and Signs of Aging
• Flaccid skin

The best part of our treatment is that it shows noticeable results in a matter of a few visits. It’s also a nice alternative to going with a cosmetic surgeon  as it saves money from other options, it’s safer, and there is no recovery time or discomfort. You can continue your everyday activities with no change whatsoever. It’s truly the anti-aging skin care that fits best with your schedule and time, no matter what.

What To Expect With This Therapy

When it comes to the particular LIGHTWAVE LED therapy clients are looking for, it ultimately depends on what skin issue they’re trying to resolve. The person who would ultimately give the best advice in trying to find the best therapy treatments for you would be your skin care specialist. 

Your skincare specialist will offer a variety of advice prior to any serious procedures and methods including acne treatments, chemical peels, increased collagen and elastin production, the possible use of topical light infusion, and of course LIGHTWAVE therapy treatments.

If your doctor goes the route of LIGHTWAVE therapy, there are some LED light Therapy sessions that you should be aware of. 

If you need to heal anti-aging, pigmentation, scars, and or flaccid skin, ask your skin care specialist about our Red or IR Light Therapy. If there is a more serious skin-related case you want to work on, you might want to ask your doctor about Infrared light energy for your perfect skin. If not sure about either, your skin care specialist might recommend the blue lighting, or a mixture of Red and Infrared light mentioned above.

What’s Happens After Your Lightwave Treatment

Treatments are short and take about 30 minutes to an hour at most, which includes pre and post care treatment. However, there are still important things you should know after your treatment is complete. 

Aside from the great results of the skin rejuvenation that this procedure brings, it is important to understand that everybody reacts differently to these treatments. Some people see visible changes right away within their skin and skin tone, while others might have to wait longer to notice their desired results. In any case, be patient and cautious of your skin. The better you care for your skin after your LIGHTWAVE treatment, the better chance you’ll have in seeing results.

When it comes to Lightwave therapy, El Paso’s Medical Aesthetics will focus on giving you the best treatment while strongly considering your skin type and other conditions that may need treatment.
